  • November and the Preciousness of Life

    November and the Preciousness of Life
    Nov 8 2024
    This is part one of a two part reflection on the fundamental preliminary teaching in Tibetan Buddhism - The precious of human life. The second preliminary is that all actions have consequences. These two ideas together are the foundational ground of all teachings. And they make total sense in terms of the Christian remembrance of all souls in November. So I put the two together this week, and I've also made a plea for subscribers. If you get these podcasts on platforms where they are free, and you can afford to subscribe please go to Patreon.com/ Michael `Harding and make a subscription which will help the podcast continue and will also help those who can't afford to pay. You are supporting me, and you are supporting people who want to listen for free by your subscription. So thank you for that and enjoy the podcast. Join my podcast on Patreon.com

  • Nicodemus and the Spider

    Nicodemus and the Spider
    Nov 1 2024
    There's a spider that makes an appearance at the beginning of this, and it led me to think about non-violence, and by the end of the meditation I was back with Yeshua, and I'm particular that dark night when he was approached by Nicodemus, an affluent chap who had a few questions for the Rabbi. But in essence it's another meditation on being in the present moment and how religious practises, whether they be Christian or Buddhist or something else, have a propensity to generate happiness. I hope you like this small song in praise of religious faith on this the Feast of All Saints. Join my podcast on Patreon.com

    Oct 25 2024
    The end of October is a midway point between the Autumn equinox and mid Winter. It's the beginning of our Celtic winter time. From now until St Brigid's day I wish you a journey of peace and joy and happiness. That you may find it all in the icons of your faith, the imprints of your loved ones that linger in your heart. There is no more wonderful time of year that this coming month of twilight and remembrance. I hope you enjoy Join my podcast on Patreon.com

  • Narratives that Divide

    Narratives that Divide
    Oct 15 2024
    This was an important podcast and I was very pleased with it and dropped it last week, late on Friday night after doing a public event in Nenagh Arts Centre. But it seems I pressed a wrong button and dropped the previous podcast. So you've got the same podcast last Friday as went out the previous Friday. Someone of course brought it to my attention and I am grateful for that. (I'm not great on the technical side of things.) ........................so now.........here's the real podcast from last Friday. Hope you enjoy. Blessings. Michael. Join my podcast on Patreon.com

    My sore tooth and a story about the general and the purification of you tube
    Oct 4 2024

    My sore tooth and a story about the general and the purification of you tube



    My sore tooth, the purification of the television, and how I nearly decapitated my teacher are all jumbled up here in an over excited author on the eve of the book launch. Hope you enjoy this meditation which is ultimately about actions and consequences, or karma as they say in Cavan, and hope you find a copy of the book next week in your bookshop.
